Tears In Heaven Episode 30 Recap
> Tears In Heaven Recap
Since her return from the island, Du Xiaosu seemed changed, often caught smiling secretively at her phone, a fact that Zou Siqi couldn't help but tease her about. Lei Yuzheng then had a new red dress delivered to Du Xiaosu, which Zou Siqi enthusiastically urged her to try on, praising its beauty and apparent high cost. Du Xiaosu felt the dress was too ostentatious for a simple dinner, but Zou Siqi insisted she looked stunning.
Despite the gift, Du Xiaosu chose to wear her own clothes to the welcome dinner, explaining to Lei Yuzheng that while the dress fit, she wasn't accustomed to it. Lei Yuzheng reassured her that she looked good regardless, adding that her presence with him would naturally draw attention. Realizing many people would be present, Du Xiaosu wondered if she could still change, but Lei Yuzheng dismissed her concerns, again complimenting her appearance.
She then asked him to stop giving her such expensive gifts, and he agreed, prioritizing her happiness. At the dinner, Shangguan Boyao, Liu Siyang, and other friends toasted Lei Yuzheng's return to Shanghai and wished him a bright future. Lei Yuzheng introduced Du Xiaosu to Liu Siyang, calling him his best cellmate, and Liu Siyang expressed his pleasure at meeting her.
Ye Shenkuan then joined them, jokingly scolding Lei Yuzheng for not revealing his relationship sooner, recalling a previous instance where Lei Yuzheng had asked him for a favor regarding Du Xiaosu. Ye Shenkuan insisted Du Xiaosu drink a toast, but Lei Yuzheng quickly intervened, claiming she was allergic to alcohol and drinking on her behalf, amidst playful remarks from another guest about her being carried home drunk again.
The celebration was interrupted by the arrival of Xu You, a renowned celebrity, who expressed delight at seeing Lei Yuzheng, attributing their encounter to fate. Lei Yuzheng formally introduced Du Xiaosu as his girlfriend to Xu You. After a brief exchange of greetings, Xu You requested a private conversation with Lei Yuzheng, leading him away from the table and promising Du Xiaosu he would return shortly.
Outside, Xu You explained her desire for a private talk was due to the crowd inside. Lei Yuzheng directly told her he now had a girlfriend. Inside, Liu Siyang, observing Du Xiaosu's discomfort, tried to engage her in conversation. Du Xiaosu, increasingly uneasy, found herself watching Lei Yuzheng and Xu You talking animatedly from afar. Feeling out of place and disturbed by Xu You's lingering presence, she quietly slipped away from the dinner.
After seeing Xu You off, Lei Yuzheng returned to find Du Xiaosu gone. He immediately called her, and Du Xiaosu, already en route home, falsely claimed she was tired and had left first, assuring him not to worry when he offered to drive her. Shangguan Boyao, noticing Lei Yuzheng's concern, advised him not to fret and to go home to appease Du Xiaosu.
He also updated Lei Yuzheng on Jiang Fanlv, revealing her recent struggles including a miscarriage, weight loss, and marital problems with Lin Xiangyuan, urging him to visit her as she had always looked up to him. That night, Lin Xiangyuan was tormented by a vivid nightmare where Lei Yuzheng confronted him over his actions at Yutian, declaring himself the true master and Lin Xiangyuan merely an employee, asserting that Lin Xiangyuan's efforts were futile and he was destined to fail.
Lin Xiangyuan woke up in a panic, realizing Jiang Fanlv was not in bed beside him. Lei Yuzheng messaged Du Xiaosu, inviting her to meet a friend involved in the building materials industry, suggesting it could be beneficial for her. Du Xiaosu politely declined, citing her busy schedule at the studio and her aversion to socializing, asking him to go alone. Later, Lei Yuzheng visited a bar and found Jiang Fanlv, visibly drunk, being harassed by a man.
He intervened, expressing concern for her and asking about Lin Xiangyuan. Jiang Fanlv, feeling neglected, claimed Lin Xiangyuan was too consumed with work to care for her. Lei Yuzheng offered his help, stating he knew of her recent hardships and wanted to speak with Lin Xiangyuan. Fanlv, however, lashed out, accusing Lei Yuzheng of caring only about his own victories and defeats, disregarding her feelings, and bitterly called him a coward for giving up Yutian to others.
Just then, Lin Xiangyuan arrived and, upon hearing Fanlv's words, quickly stepped in. Lei Yuzheng instructed Lin Xiangyuan to take his intoxicated wife home. Lin Xiangyuan defensively asserted his marital rights, stating it was his decision whether to take her home. Lei Yuzheng, emphasizing his familial concern for Fanlv, reiterated his request for Lin Xiangyuan to ensure her well-being and take her home.
At home, Lin Xiangyuan meticulously prepared millet porridge and personally fed it to a surprised Jiang Fanlv, mentioning it was from his mother's hometown and good for her health, given his demanding work and frequent drinking. Seeing her astonishment, he then recounted his past struggles after college, eventually buying an apartment in Shanghai and bringing his mother to live with him, only for her to become ill from not being acclimatized.
He expressed regret for the people he had hurt in his pursuit of success, including his wife. Fanlv questioned his sudden change, asking who the real Lin Xiangyuan was, and if his newfound kindness was due to Lei Yuzheng's return. He denied being scared of anyone, claiming his change was genuine, though perhaps unexpected, and promised to prove his sincerity. Unable to answer her persistent questions about the reason for his abrupt transformation, Lin Xiangyuan remained silent.
Meanwhile, Lei Yuzheng discussed his observations with Liu Siyang, confirming that Lin Xiangyuan was indeed feeling apprehensive. Lei Yuzheng acknowledged Lin Xiangyuan's ambition and initial control over Yutian but believed such power wouldn't last. He revealed his strategy, learned from his time in prison, was to patiently wait for his opponent to falter and expose their vulnerabilities, especially considering Jiang Jin's involvement as a major shareholder.
Lei Yuzheng stated he would not reclaim Yutian until he fully understood the underlying complexities. Liu Siyang, impressed by Lei Yuzheng's renewed determination, pledged his unwavering support. Separately, Du Xiaosu confided in Zou Siqi that she felt a growing incompatibility with Lei Yuzheng. Zou Siqi agreed, highlighting the challenges of marrying into wealth and navigating high society, implying that Du Xiaosu might not be suited for such a life.
She urged Du Xiaosu to consider withdrawing if she felt overwhelmed, and chided her for leaving the dinner abruptly, which could have embarrassed Lei Yuzheng. Later, He Qunfei approached Du Xiaosu, eagerly inquiring about Lei Yuzheng's current status. Zou Siqi, in response, reiterated her earlier sentiment, stating that Du Xiaosu and Lei Yuzheng belonged to different social circles, and it might be better for Du Xiaosu to seek a partner of similar social standing.
Driven by his precarious situation, Lin Xiangyuan made concerted efforts to appease Jiang Jin. Jiang Jin, acknowledging the past conflicts between himself, Lin Xiangyuan, and the Lei family, believing it essential for Yutian's future, proposed that both he and Lin Xiangyuan personally apologize to Lei Yuzheng and invite him to return to Yutian as his assistant, allowing Lin Xiangyuan to remain president. Lin Xiangyuan reluctantly agreed to arrange the meeting.
Lin Xiangyuan later confided in Xie Li about his fear, revealing a prenuptial agreement that would strip him of all shares and assets in Yutian if he initiated a divorce. He felt his achievements were illusory and everything was in vain. Xie Li, attempting to reassure him, praised his capabilities and urged him not to give up hope. As Lei Yuzheng and Liu Siyang were fishing, Lei Yuzheng received a phone call from Lin Xiangyuan, arranging their meeting.
Jiang Jin, accompanied by Lin Xiangyuan, met with Lei Yuzheng. Lin Xiangyuan offered a sincere apology for his past actions and vowed to manage Yutian responsibly. Jiang Jin, reflecting on his long-standing rivalry with Lei Yuzheng's father, stated that he was now old and believed Yutian should be led by the younger generation.
Back home, Jiang Jin presented Lin Xiangyuan and Jiang Fanlv with a will, stipulating that all his Yutian shares would be inherited by Fanlv, while the house property would be shared between them. Lin Xiangyuan, quick to react, promised Jiang Jin a grandchild soon, to which Fanlv quietly urged her father to be well. Later, distraught, Lin Xiangyuan revealed to Xie Li that Fanlv was secretly using contraceptives despite his promise to Jiang Jin.
He then expressed his fear that Jiang Jin's will, which primarily benefited Fanlv and included him in joint property, meant his efforts were in vain unless they had a child, making him feel that all his achievements were illusory and everything was for naught. Xie Li tried to comfort Lin Xiangyuan, praising his talent and assuring him of future opportunities. In a moment of desperation, Lin Xiangyuan vowed to remain at Yutian.
